The Osun State Commissioner of Police, Ibrahim Gotan, has called for stronger collaboration among security agencies in the fight against insecurity.
Gotan who described synergy, intelligence sharing, and coordinated operations as the most effective tools for reducing crime and sustaining peace across the state, said Osun remains one of the most peaceful states in Nigeria.
He stated this on Tuesday while addressing journalists, adding that the command’s strategy is anchored on proactive policing, inter-agency cooperation, and community engagement, particularly in tackling serious offences such as kidnapping, armed robbery, and cross-border criminal activities.
The Police Commissioner, however, warned individuals with criminal intentions to steer clear of the state or be prepared to face the full weight of the law, noting that the command has deployed personnel to strategic “pin-down points” across major towns and flashpoints, while intensifying 24-hour patrols and surveillance operations.
He said, “Effective crime prevention is a collective responsibility. No agency can work in isolation. Collaboration remains the only sustainable way to reduce crime to the barest minimum.”
